Try A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. Well written with lots of interesting historical and academic detail but also with witches and vampires and highfalutin, unbridled passion.

Laurell K Hamilton up to about book 5 of the Anita Blake series. They're excellent fun until then, afterwards there's a lot of sex and very little plot, which I find tedious, but clearly suits other fans.

Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series.

Patricia Briggs - werewolves and vampires and other things.

The True Blood novels by Charlaine Harris.

Karen Chance's books - she has two series, but I think both have vampires.

Barbara Hambly's vampire series which starts with Travelling with the Dead (these are excellent, very creepy and disconcerting).

Kim Harrison.
Kim Wilkins.
Kelley Armstrong

and an older series but a good one by Tanya Huff which starts with Blood Ties.

Not to forget Bram Stoker's Dracula, which is a cracking good read.

If you do a search for urban fantasy + vampire you'll find heaps.

A Discovery of Witches is about to start on Sky.

Kim Harrison's Hollows series
Jim Butcher's Dresden Files - Harry Dresden the only Warlock for hire in Chicago
Ben Aaronovitch's Peter Grant series
Jonathon Stroud's Bartimeaus series
Roger Zelazny's Amber series

Lots of great suggestions there. Also loving Seanan Maguire's October Day series.

The Host - about alien invasion, also written by Stephanie Mayer

Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunter books.

CaurnieBred · 18/08/2018 22:43

Anne Bishop's Jewels Series starting with Daughter of the Blood.

Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series and Innkeeper series.

Ben Aaronovitch's Peter Grant series

I would highly recommend the audio version of this series, it’s so good.

Kelley Armstrong - Otherworld series.

The Tearling Trilogy - I can't remember the author though.

A court of thorns and roses by Sara J Mass. I got through them so quickly I thought they were amazing!
